New York Public Theater’s Trump-murder fantasy Julius Caesar was interrupted for a second night after a protestor rushed the stage and yelled “Goebbels would be proud” and “CNN is ISIS” – protesting the production’s mock-assassination of Donald Trump.

The disruption follows a Friday night protest when conservative activists Laura Loomer and Jack Posobiec made headlines with a public protest of the production. Loomer stormed onstage during the climatic “Stab the sitting President until he’s dead” scene to admonish the production, while Posobiec let the crowd know that Hitler’s minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels “would be proud” of the production.

Defense Fund

Loomer was arrested and released until her upcoming court date, and a defense fund was set up in her name. It’s been pointed out that the website was set up four hours before the event by The Rebel, with some suggesting the disruption was a scam – however I can’t imagine anyone thought this protest was organic, or that Loomer didn’t anticipate being arrested forrunning on stage and disrupting a play. Had Loomer protested but not been arrested, the website would be a non-issue.

Reactions

Many on the left and some on the right have called the protest an attack on free speech and a stunt, while supporters of the disruption say there is nothing wrong with civil disobedience and ‘culture jamming’ Julius Caesar, considering the anti-American, anti-democratic subject matter.

Progressives: “We love civil disobedience. We are anti-violence. And yet here we are, we’re watching a play that is essentially assassination porn, and then we are also angry and going to punish someone engaging in very very brief civil disobedience.”

The left moralized for months about the dangers of ‘normalizing’ Trump and his ‘facist’ movement – yet these same liberal paragons of virtue are paying money to enjoy the sweet release that apparently comes with watching a bunch of angry minorities theatrically murder a Donald Trump effigy after he stole the White House from Hillary Clinton.

And while Julius Caesar is covered under the first amendment, the fact that people have the freedom to stage a mock-assassination of the President in Central Park suggests Trump might not be a fascist. I can’t imagine liberal heroes Hugo Chavez or Fidel Castro letting a bunch of dissidents glorify their assassination in a famous park, hiding behind the nebulous defense that it’s ‘art.’

‘Normalizing’ the assassination of political opponents is how nations drift into chaos, and the left has been carefully molded into an army of angry losers who think they’re ‘resisting’ some huge injustice. George Soros sits in a wood paneled room somewhere smirking with his withered fingers steepled together under his sagging chin.
